In this connection the Ger mans would not be allowed to establish forts, barracks, airdomes or other mil itary works on the left bank of the Rhine, or within a good sized strip on the river bank. While disposed now to relinquish claims for annexation of the Saar val ley, the French are said to insist they be given certain commercial advan tages in thot region. The third proposition for insuring France’s military security is that of con*4|ued disarmament of Germany under control of the League of Na tions, which would be empowered to take immediate steps in the event the peace terms were violated.

Coblenz, March 31.—The announce ment by the war department of Its in tention to send from the United States volunteers enlisted for use in replacing "members of the permanent army of occupation who desire to leave the service'' rc.i hod Third army headquar- ; ters hi. o yesterday. The announce .. "as made by the department to , oh; unrest among the regular army . div sions, which are due for replace- ; punts and which contain a large per- j centage of men who volunteered for the duration of the war and among national guardsmen who are eager to return home as soon as possible. A plan also Is being worked out for the segregation Into the regular army divisions of the army of occupation of regular officers and such other offi cers as desire to remain in the regular army service. The department, by this means contemplates relieving as soon as feasible those reserve and national guard officers who desire to return to the United States for business or other reasons. Recruiting Brisk. In the new recruiting campaign first announced several weeks ago, 2,189 men have enlisted at the various recruiting offices located at camps. General March disclosed today. These have been about evenly divided between one i and three-year enlistments, he said. March referred to the enlistments “as a small number,” and explained that | the new promise of foreign duty would probably appeal to many men who did not see service abroad during the war. No Change in Plana Recent events In Hungary, General March announced today, have resulted In no change in the military policy of the United States so far as the war department has been advised. Return of troops from France Is proceeding even faster than scheduled originally, he said, and nothing had occurred to Interfere with this movement. CONFIDENT OF QUOTA. Washington, March 31.—War depart- i ment officials express confidence that , no trouble will be experienced in rais ing 50,000 men In the United States, or even a greater number, if it should be found that additional Increments i are necessary'. The bulk of the men 1 ate expected to come from recently discharged troops, who, after a short "vacation” as civilians, desire to re- ! turn to arniyr life. Another Incentive expected to have a decided effect on the recruiting cam- j paign is looked for among the men who, after having been drafted and trained, were prevented from going overseas by the armistice. Opportunity to see service In Germany, It is thought, will lead many of these to enlist. • ! A number of officers, probably 10 or 12, will be sent over with each 1,000 men from Camp Meade. These will be used at the concentra tion camp to give the preliminary training necessary to whip the men Into casual organizations and to make the required examinations. On arrival In Kurope they will take the places of officers who are eligible for discharge. REORGANIZATION PLANS. Washington, D.

Today Its fh* California Liberator, Journal of the "drys.” It declares that scientific tests show the raisin and near beer recipe, bruited as possessed of a mule like kick, is a false alarm.

Believe Few Divisions of First Class Troops Could Occupy Petrograd With Little Resist ance From Bolshevists. London Time* cable service [Copyright 1#1>, bj Public Ledger Co. | to The 8fcmx City Tribune. BERLIN, March 31.—All reports agree that the Russian bolshevlst army could be effectively dealt with by a few divisions of first class troops, provided the situation were handled properly. General Hoffmann, the principal Ger man expert on eastern military matters says that last summer he could have fought his way to Fotrograd with hts troopB. Dr. Juncker, a Moscow banker, of Finnish nationality, who Is the most recent arrival from Russia, said today that at that time two divisions would have sufficed. New estimates are higher but all reports from the front agree that the great mass of bolshevlst troops would offer no effective resist ance If properly equipped and deter mined troops opposed them. Besides the Lettish troops, the bol shevlst military power is mainly based on Chinese who came into Russia to trade or labor and have been recrultj cd under threat of starvation. Gen eral Hoffman eatlmates this Chinese force at four to five battalions. Dr. Juncker puts the Chinese force at a maximum of 20,000 to 25,000. There Is yet a third equally desperate force In the service of Lenlne and Trotzky, namely, the Finnish rod army, which Dr. Juncker estimates at 15,000. All authorities agree that when theso three forces are excluded the- Russian bol shevlst army could be dealt with by a comparatively Bmali force of trust worthy troops. Forming Volunteers. General Hoffmann, the real victor at Tannenburg and General von Lettow Verbeck are forming a new volunteer corps as divisions of guards "to pre serve order at home and protect the frontiers of the empire." Recently, before the Bismarck stat ues In Koenig Platz, the national un ion German officers, with the imperial colors at their head and a band of officers playing the kaiser hymn, for mally made an oath of allegiance In the form of a resolution regarding the frontiers of the empire founded by the iron chancellor. Just as the procession was passing the British embassy, General Luden dorff turned the corner from Unter den Linden. Some one recognized him and in an instant he was surrounded and there were wild cheers. Luden dorff was obviously perturbed by the demonstration, which In the present mood of suspicion against him enter tained by man cen do t»!m no good service.

Campbell, head of the animal husbandry department of the Kansas State Agricultural College, said that consumers need not look for any marked reduction In the retail prices of meats in the near future. His report said: “In 1890 there were GSO head of cat tle In the United States for every 1.000 persons. This has been reduct t! to 350 head. “in nine years the number of hogs lias dropped from 800 to G >0 for each 1,000 persons and sheep f.om S80 to 450. “The capacity of the ranges is de creasing. and any increase Jn the sup ply of jneat must come from the farm where the expense of production is much greater than on the range. “Meanwhile, meat consumption of the country is continuously Increas ing.” ARGENTINE INDIANS IN SUDDEN UPRISING , Troops Rushed to Formosa j Province Following Sacking of Fort By Indian Band.

That la Why the Fertile Acres of West ern Canada, With Adjacent Mar ket#, Are So Attractive to Settlers. Throughout every portion of the Western Empire lands that are capable of producing arc In great demand We find that In the States of proved agricultural wealth, land prices have increased within the past three or four years to a degree that ten year* ago would not hare been thought to be possible; Eand that sought buyer* at $100 an acre five years ago la changing hands at $200 an acre. The secret of this does not lie altogether In the higher prices of farm product*, for the expense of production has In creased proportionately. The better methods of farming hafe had a good deal to do with- it, and the knowledge that demands for farm products win be sufficiently great for a good many yenrs to come to Insure- a continuation of the high prices that prevail at present. Then, again, Improved ma chinery, the tractor and' other mean* of economic power will tend to lessen the cost. Governing land values, too, are cli mates, soli, moisture, settlement, rail roads, markets. Without markets, n* matter how much the other factors en ter Into it, the land i is merely of speculative value. It Is not more than a third of K century since ninety per cent of the land In Western Canada, now oc cupied and tilled, and producing enough In one year to give a profit of from twenty-five to thirty dollar* per acre, was unoccupied or used a* grazing land, and worth very little. These lands today are valuable, and are being sought by settlers who real ize their present and future value. There 1* no portion of the world that Is attracting the same attention. The soil may have improved In the past centuries with the fertilizing given It by nature; the climate has not changed, and the moisture may be considered the same. These are three of the essentials of good land. What they lacked a third of a century age was markets—a fourth essential. These they have now. Thus provided. It Is not to be wondered at that these millions of ncres with their great wealth, which have so long been await ing the awakening touch of mankind, are now to be found adding to the available wealth of the world. With! the advent of railroads, throwing their great trunks of steel across the con tinent and over the surface of these boundless plains, spreading out their tentacles to remoter parts, the world at large has begun to realize that here; was a country possessing all the nat ural advantages claimed by older com munities; that land here Just as good or better, acre for acre, as their uwnj could be had for almost the asking. With the realization of the fore going facts came the people, who, found that a railway had precededi them and markets already existed for anything that they might care to raise. These markets have greatly expanded and, are capable of still greater expansion, and assure to the agriculturist the prevailing prices of the world. An assured market means added value to every acre of land In Western Cnnada, and the near future will see lands that are now selling at exceptionally low prices begin to increase in value, Just as they have in Eastern Canada and the United States. —Advertisement.
